Bruce told Lamar to “hope for the best but expect the worst when it comes to that show and what they’re going to reveal because this is how they survive — by putting everything on the table,” a source tells Hollywood Life.

The two reportedly spent an hour, chopping it up on the phone on New Year’s Day, as Bruce continued to tell Odom “to forget about everything that happened in 2013 and not drag all the drama, defeats and embarrassments with him. Bruce told him, ‘It will eat you alive and ruin any progress if you stay in the past.’ He also told Lamar to stay off the websites and turn the TV off and not listen to gossip about him.”

While the fate of Odom’s basketball career continues to hang in a balance, this may be the type of support he needs.
